No sacrifice I could give to You could match what You ve given me. For my everything is but a drop of dew, and Calvary is the sea. If I could take the love I feel and capture it with words, more than what my heart could give is still much less than You deserve. If I should ever doubt Your love, my only prayer would be that You would keep Your rugged cross etched upon my memory. *Doxology UMH # 94 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia!
